HashiCorp-issued Terraform Enterprise license

Running Terraform Enterprise with Flexible Deployment Options requires a new HashiCorp-issued license. If you are an existing customer, this license is different from the .rli license file (created by and tied to Replicated) that you initially received when installing Terraform Enterprise. This change will not impact entitlements or pricing for additional customers.

Acquiring a new Terraform Enterprise license

To acquire a new HashiCorp issued license, please contact your account manager.

Apply the Terraform Enterprise license

There are two ways to apply the new license file to your Terraform Enterprise with Flexible Deployment Options install.

When starting the Terraform Enterprise application, you can:

• provide the body of the license file as a string to an environment variable called TFE_LICENSE.
• store the license in a file and provide the file path to an environment variable called TFE_LICENSE_PATH.

License expiration and termination

To prevent unexpected outages caused by delays in license updates, HashiCorp licenses provisioned for production use will not terminate on their expiry date.

If your license expires you cannot authenticate with the HashiCorp image registry (images.registry.hashicorp.com). If you configure your installation to pull directly from the HashiCorp registry, and your license expires, you cannot reinstall, scale, or upgrade. You can check your license expiration date using the tfectl app license command.

License updates

To update an existing installation with a new license, you will need to modify the TFE_LICENSE or TFE_LICENSE_PATH variable and restart the application.
